A heavy product launch
When we reprinted an extract from a 1984 Guardian article – Macintosh launched by Apple, 25 January, page 30 – an inputting error compounded by an editing intervention resulted in the computer’s weight being given as 77kg. As the newspaper originally reported, it weighed about 17lb. That would make 7.7kg. On the other hand, a reader notes that the original article was wrong in implying that Xerox originated the mouse.
